This book collects posts from the Educational Media Program's blog. The EdMedia Program is run by the Teaching and Learning Centre at Simon Fraser University and is designed to help faculty, staff and grad students make sense of and educational media and incorporate it into their teaching practice.

This books lays the foundation for prospective teachers to learn about various teaching methodologies and covers material typically found in many teacher training programs. Chapters in the text can be assigned either from beginning to end, as with a conventional printed book, or they can be selected in some other sequence to meet the needs of particular students or classes. In general the first half of the book focuses on broader questions and principles taken from psychology per se, and the second half focuses on somewhat more practical issues of teaching. But the division between “theory” and “practice” is only approximate; all parts of the book draw on research, theory, and practical wisdom wherever appropriate. Chapter 2 is about learning theory, and Chapter 3 is about development; but as we point out, these topics overlap with each other as well as with the concerns of daily teaching. Chapter 4 is about several forms of student diversity (what might be called individual differences in another context), and Chapter 5 is about one form of diversity that has become prominent in schools recently—students with disabilities. Chapter 6 is about motivation, a topic that is heavily studied by psychological researchers, but that also poses perennial challenges to classroom teachers.

An Introduction to Searching the UofA Library Sources of Information

Short Description:
The manual’s purpose is to give students the foundational knowledge necessary to start searching for information in Educational Psychology using the University of Alberta Library’s catalog and databases. The manual contains step by step instructions, videos, and examples. The successful completion of the learning objectives will depend on spending sufficient time reading through the manual, answering the exercise questions, and reviewing the examples whenever necessary, which should take at least one hour and a half of uninterrupted time.

This resource is an update of the Educational Psychology textbook originally published by Rosemary Sutton and Kelvin Seifert. The chapters have been realigned to compliment a semester long upper division course for Education majors. This update also includes supplemental links that provides a more expansive foundation of educational psychology principles.

Faculty may contact the course developers, Yan Yan (yyang@westga.edu) or CJ Ivory (civory@westga.edu) for access to test banks on the supplementary materials.

Education for a Digital World contains a comprehensive collection of proven strategies and tools for effective online teaching, based on the principles of learning as a social process. It offers practical, contemporary guidance to support e-learning decision-making, instructional choices, as well as program and course planning, and development.

Practical advice, real-life examples, case studies, and useful resources supply in-depth perspectives about structuring and fostering socially engaging learning in an online environment. A plethora of e-learning topics provide insights, ideas, and usable tools. Tips and evidence-based theory guide administrators, program and course developers, project teams, and teachers through the development of online learning opportunities.

This primer provides a basic introduction to Egyptian colloquial Arabic, beginning with the alphabet, demonstrating both pronunciation and the writing system. From there the text moves on to discussing the parts of speech as well as some of the dialect's basic grammar. The book then progresses to common phrases and ends with a vocabulary section that relies on transliteration.

This manual, written in 1914, includes a very basic introduction to the colloquial Egyptian Arabic spoken in Cairo. The 80-page text focuses mostly on vocabulary and contains 28 different word lists. There is also a brief section on grammar, one on the Arabic alphabet and how it is pronounced in Egypt, and a collection of sample dialogues. Although the book covers the alphabet, most sections rely on transliteration into Latin characters. The filesize of the PDF is 5 MB.

Welcome to “El español por el mundo”, a book written by Gemma Morawski and Ani Alcocer as part of an OER project for the Idaho Department of Education. Gemma is an adjunct professor for the Department of World Languages at Boise State University. Ani is an instructor in Spanish for the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Idaho.

Esta introducción fue modificada desde el principio de la publicación Family Partnerships and Culture (Asociaciones familiares y culturales en español), por el Departamento de Educación de California y utilizando la declaración de posición de Avanzando en equidad en la educación en la primera infancia, de la Asociación Nacional para la Educación de Niños Pequeños. Estas sabias palabras enmarcan el propósito de este libro y el curso para el que se está utilizando, los cuales solo son el comienzo del viaje.

Aunque la mayoría de las familias utilizan algún tipo de cuidado fuera del hogar, los niños menores de cinco años continúan pasando la mayor parte de su primera infancia en el entorno familiar. En consecuencia, las familias continúan desempeñando un papel especialmente importante en la formación del curso del desarrollo temprano de los niños. Por esta razón, las familias son miembros invaluables en los programas para la primera infancia.

Guiadas por creencias y principios culturales, las familias seleccionan experiencias, transmiten actitudes e imparten conocimiento a sus hijos para prepararlos para la edad adulta. Por esto, es importante que el personal del programa aprenda a colaborar eficazmente con las familias. Para desarrollar una colaboración y aprovechar la familia como recurso principal, los educadores de la primera infancia deben acercarse, aprender y desarrollar colaboraciones sólidas con las familias. Este proceso requiere tener una actitud receptiva al aprendizaje y hacer un esfuerzo por comprender la individualidad de cada familia y la diversidad de las familias de donde provienen los niños.

Short Description:
Being able to step voltages to a higher value and step voltages down to a lower value is one of the benefits of alternating current. This book will explain how this is possible through transformers with a focus on single phase.

Electrochemistry has been undergoing significant transformations in the last few decades. It is now the province of academics interested only in measuring thermodynamic properties of solutions and of industrialists using electrolysis or manufacturing batteries, with a huge gap between them. It has become clear that these, apparently distinct subjects, alongside others, have a common ground and that they have grown towards each other, particularly as a result of research into the rates of electrochemical processes. Such evolution is due to a number of factors, and offers the possibility of carrying out reproducible, dynamic experiments under an ever-increasing variety of conditions with reliable and sensitive instrumentation. This has enabled many studies of a fundamental and applied nature, to be carried out.

Electrochemical engineering deals with electrochemical devices like electrolysers, fuel cells, and batteries. While several excellent books exist in this long-standing and still growing field, their focus is usually on chemistry or phenomenology. In this textbook, we focus on mathematical modelling of the physical phenomena involved. Instead of resorting to numerical modelling, the aim is to derive simplified analytical models that maximise understanding.

Porous electrodes, ion mass transport, and multiphase flow are central themes in this book. Examples include modelling the water saturation in a fuel cell diffusion layer, the gas fraction and current distribution in an alkaline water electrolyser, the potential distribution in a binary electrolyte inside porous battery electrode, and the concentration distribution in the flow channel of a redox flow battery. This makes for a diverse, challenging, and stimulating journey, for both students and researchers.

I have revamped the book Electromagnetics 1 by Steven Ellingson as a part of idoer project. Changes I made in this version of the book include:
• Cover design
• Typesetting
• Visual improvement of figures
• Addition of problems.
